There is no longer any question that all learning disabilities result from differences in the way the brain is organized. You cannot look at a child and tell if he or she has a learning disability.

38、 There is no outward sign of the disorder. So some researchers began looking at the brain itself to learn what might be wrong. In one study, researchers examined the brain of a learning-disabled person, who had died in an accident. They found two unusual things. One involved cells in the left side o

As far as I can remember, my friends and I didnt findout we were depressed untilwe were in highschool. The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children

53、dont seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
